SLEEK + PROUD
“Sleek” stands for beauty, chic and elegance, “Proud” for strength and

survival. Visionary designer Constance Puyt is doing “something” special and
unique and she’s doing it in sunny Greece. This something is Sleek + Proud.
Her designs and styles are
a reflection of her own
unique and eclectic self.
Her distinctive personal
style and awareness
form the basis of her
unique and exclusive
collection. Everything
she makes is handmade,
inspired by her countless
interests. You can certainly
recognize her love, her
passion for architecture
in her designs. But her
passion is not just limited
to that, it’s a stimulating
blend of architectural
design, the 30’s &40’s,
Japanese art, Samurai

of Constance’s concept.
If you look close at the
apparel you can almost
see the stories she’s telling.
I look at her designs and
see the signature of an
engineer on each piece;
a well thought through
intricate design that is
sculpted with the hand of
an artist, and finished with
the contemporary touch
of a fashion designer.
Useful multifunctional
apparel, smart and
timeless design that you
wear not only to look
fabulous but also to feel
cozy and comfortable.

What is your
advice to us?
“Don’t buy things so
easily and don’t throw
your stuff away so
easily”.

The fact that you can
take an old item and turn
it into something new,
something multifunctional
with a brand new look,
the possibilities are
endless. It’s what makes
recycling and up-cycling
so special. “You can simply
let go of what you know
and think of something
new. Not always easy, but
challenging and good for
the creative process. ”
